Frogslegs Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 We bought a property in Les Adjots in the Charente for less than 15000 euros last year and have recieved our first tax fonciere....as you can imagine the house and barn is hardly habitable...but they charged us 900 euros!!! It then became apparent that they thought the barn which is as big as the house was actually a house! We paid the bill and they said we would be reimboursed later...which we were, 350 euros was returned. But surely this can not be accurate. There is no land to speak of. Our house and gites with one acre of land near Melle in the Deux Sevres is only 550 euros.As no electricity and water is actually being used and the house is not habitable would we not qualify for a discount. I had heard that second home owners are charged more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
